Achievements & Story

6,000 flight hrs.298 MSN-Vn. CO VAQ-33. Always returned same aircraft I took off in. I could walk into any O'Club & hear this from the guys I trained for trips to N.Vietnam. (After ' 68")You SOB, you saved my life." I taught them to remove any predictability in flying near the target.
